Hi Tammy,
I am happy to recommend HLBL historic Stone-cold light bulb Luminaire. They
are actual light bulbs in which the filaments have been removed and replaced
with optic fibers. They closely replicate the operation of electric light
bulbs, but without absolutely no heat or UV. Conventional electric light
bulbs produce more than 90% of their energy as infrared and ultraviolet
radiation. Only now with NoUVIR's HLBL is it possible to display operating
electric lamps in a historic setting without danger of photochemical damage
from UV or IR to historic papers, photographs, or even to something as close
as antique silk lampshade. Inquire from NoUVIR Research, 20915 Sussex Hwy.

Hi, everyone,
As part of our renovation project which is now going on, we're redoing all
the lighting in one of our buildings. I'm seeking advice on types and
sources of lighting fixtures and bulbs. Until now, we've been using 60w
incandescent bulbs, but now we're looking at the more
environmentally-friendly and energy-efficient choices. Is there a compact
fluorescent bulb out there that is safe for museum use? What about UV
filtering/colour rendering, etc? Preferably, anything we go with is
available at our local Home Building Supply!
We do have a fair amount of natural light in the building. Most, if not
all, of our new lighting will be recessed ceiling lighting. Any advice would
be much appreciated.
Thanks,
Tammy
